Cage for animal pets employing Zeolite elements to eliminate pet odor

Abstract

A cage for confining small animals in which Zeolite can be used to capture and contain offensive odors contained in the urine and feces of these animals. The cage comprises a top cage and a bottom container, wherein the bottom container has a top made from a fine mesh screen capable of holding the bedding and offing of the small animals. Under this screen, a pad containing a Zeolite in a drawer formed within the bottom container so that the Zeolite can be kept out of the area containing the small animal but may act to remove the aforementioned odors.

       2. The container of  claim 1  wherein said meshed metal screen has a mesh size from 0.02″×0.02″ to 1.0″×1.0″. 
     
     
       3. The container of  claim 1  wherein said bottom container is formed from a plastic.
